Experimental design — practice question

(a)[2]

Use the thermometer readings to fill the table for ammonium chloride.

(b)[2]

What difficulty could the student face when carrying out the experiment with $2.0\,g$ of potassium nitrate? State how this difficulty could be dealt with.

(c)[3]

Plot the data for both ammonium chloride and potassium nitrate on the grid, draw smooth curves and label them. Extend both curves so that each crosses the $y$-axis.

(d)[2]

Use your graphs to determine the mass of each compound that dissolves in $10\,g$ of water at $0^\circ\text{C}$.

(e(i))[1]

At what temperature do the two compounds have the same solubility?

(e(ii))[1]

Use the graphs to find the solubility of both compounds at this temperature.

(f)[2]

Describe the appearance of the contents of each boiling tube at $45^\circ\text{C}$.
